Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D., representing California's 25th district, has recently expressed his views on several issues through a series of tweets. His comments address topics ranging from vaccine misinformation to political actions concerning water management and the influence of billionaires in government.
On February 7, 2025, Congressman Ruiz criticized Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s stance on vaccines. He stated, "RFK Jr.’s vaccine misinformation puts lives at risk. We must stand up to protect people’s health." Ruiz emphasized the importance of rejecting Kennedy's confirmation and advocated for leaders who prioritize public health.
Later that day, Ruiz addressed former President Donald Trump's policies on water management in California. He described Trump's claims as misleading, stating "Trump’s California water claims amount to bogus political grandstanding and what he did with our water was very wasteful."
On February 8, 2025, Ruiz shared his concerns about the influence of wealthy individuals in politics. He tweeted an image with the caption "A picture is worth a thousand words: Elon Musk, the Un-Elected President of the United States." He further asserted that unelected billionaires should not have control over governmental affairs and pledged to continue his efforts against such influences.
